Specifying the language to start LANSA Composer

You can only start LANSA Composer using the languages for which translations are provided, presently:

  • English
  • French
  • Japanese

 

Specifying the language to start LANSA Composer client software

When LANSA Composer client software starts, by default it will start in the language appropriate for the computer on which it is running.  For example, on a French computer, LANSA Composer will start in French, or on a Japanese computer, LANSA Composer will start in Japanese.

It is possible to override this behaviour to start LANSA Composer in a different language using a command-line switch to dxstart.exe or by modifying the dxstart.cfg configuration file.  For more information, refer to:

Using dxstart.exe to start functions of LANSA Composer on Windows

 

Server functions (such as a Processing Sequence run or the Database Housekeeping task) that are initiated from the LANSA Composer client software will run on the server in the language used to start the LANSA Composer client.

 

Specifying the language to run a LANSA Composer Processing Sequence

When you initiate a Processing Sequence run on the server system, you can specify the language in which LANSA Composer will execute.  This affects, for example, the language for messages, especially for the Processing Sequence log.
